Orange Jasmine is tropical evergreen shrub.

This rather tropical looking flower may look delicate and soft, bearing small white scented flowers, but it is actually an extremely hardy evergreen and a very durable plant which makes it great for creating all kinds of landscape designs that last all year long.

Along with its hardiness, the beauty and relaxed atmosphere it brings to any area as ornamental tree or hedge makes it the perfect addition to any garden. landscapers often also add the very cute dwarf varieties of this plant as well when planting the Orange Jasmine tree.

Murraya Paniculata is closely related to Citrus, and bears small orange to red fruit resembling kumquats, though some cultivars do not set fruit. Frequently used as hedging, it is spread by birds, self-propagates and the roots are also invasive in search of moisture.

The plants require protection from hot, direct sunlight, locate the plant where it receives morning sunlight and afternoon shade, or alternatively, where it is in broken sunlight or dappled shade all day. It is suitable for growing indoors.

Well-drained soil is critical, as it doesn’t do well in waterlogged soil. If your soil lacks drainage, improve soil conditions by digging in organic material such as compost, chopped bark or leaf mulch.

The Orange Jasmine is widely used in landscape design in both residential and commercial settings.
